Mike DeWine Now Backs Byrd Option Too!
In addition to Lindsay Graham, Mike DeWine has now come out in support of the “Byrd option” which would eliminate the filibuster. He gave this indication in an interview with Hugh Hewitt yesterday, and CQ has the details.
What this really means is that the filibuster will not even be attempted, because the Democrats will want to save it for possible future use, for the “extraordinary circumstance” of replacing 85 year old Stevens with a constructionist judge.
Also, as James Joyner notes, McCain also has made positive comments in this regard, though wants to wait until the hearings to commit.
